Week of Nov. 27

The skies are heavy this week with Sagittarius influences. Both Saturn and Mercury are gathered there in the late degrees of the sign. Mercury will be in late Sagittarius until the middle of next week when it begins its thrice-yearly station towards retrograde. The planet of communication stations retrograde and remains so until late December when it turns direct. The station, or the time that the planet appears to be still, represents the most prominent period of time when its impact is felt the strongest. Of course, during this period is when we typically see and hear of mechanical malfunctions and communication breakdowns. With the underlying anticipation of the coming holidays and all the planning that goes into such a celebration we should be cognizant of dropped connections, misplaced dialogs and, yes, perhaps a mixed-up situation with a gift delivery or order.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may find that you are in a somber mood this week. Not a bad mood, just sober, and serious as you try and find a way forward within the current limitations facing you. If you can consider this mood to be one of purposeful progress then you may be quite pleased with your thought process.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A surprising turn of events may tempt you to reconsider some of your long-term investments possibilities. As new information comes to light you may pivot towards a much more conservative tack that allows you to garner a sense of security and stability rather than a high risk choice. Read the details carefully.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You may be forming new relationships with business partners this week. You may find that a once loose connection has taken a turn for a more serious stature. While this contact may be a bit more restrained than in the past, you may also be able to make far more progress as a result.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): A new role or responsibility assigned to you at work could find you taking on a more diligent attitude. In short, you may be quite happy to take on more authority since the rewards are also embedded in the added structure. A larger role could provide you with a pathway towards a more secure future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You could be wrestling a particularly challenging creative dilemma this week. While you could be tested to figure out the correct solution you may also be surprised at how you come to adopt a sensible solution by weeks end. The hard work you put into solving your situation may be filled with a surprising reward.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The home and family may be drawing most of your attention this week as events there unfold in a rather challenging manner. Of course a solution may be readily available and coincidental in this context. Look to large organizations or an elderly relative to step in with a possible helping hand. Gratitude is key.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Expect to find your time consumed with paperwork this week. Legal documents and the like could occupy your thought process as you try and assert your will on others. While the work may be tedious and challenging you may find that help comes in the form of your partner or a close friend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An intriguing set of circumstances regarding your finances or budgets for which you are accountable could require a significant portion of your time this week. While the timing may be challenging you could be surprised by the urgency of the request and you might overreact in a way that could be viewed as aggressive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Expect to feel rather empowered this week as four influential planets gather in your sign. While you may enjoy the attention you may be required to answer some questions and find the solutions to difficult problems that cannot move forward until you are actively engaged. You might not be able to dodge these.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): As the year-end looms in the near future, you may be gearing up for a change of direction especially regarding your career. You could be particularly motivated to shift your focus and trajectory for inventing a whole new you in the coming year. Not entirely satisfied with your current state you may be eager to start anew.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Expect to be working collaboratively with business partners towards some educational endeavor. You may be very motivated to leave an unusual and memorable impact that might include documentation and contracts. With the year-end in sight you might be finishing up projects or laying the groundwork for new in the coming year.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may be deadline driven this week with projects that are due before year’s end. While this might be time-consuming and tedious bear in mind how you will feel once you have crossed the finish line. You may discover a surprising monetary component that has you especially motivated. Double-check your work.
